2000 millennium attack plots

The 2000 Millennium Attack Plots refer to a series of intercepted terrorist plots aimed at attacking prominent locations in India on or around the turn of the millennium, particularly December 31, 1999, to January 1, 2000. These threats were primarily attributed to Pakistan-based militant groups and involved plans to target major urban centers, including New Delhi, to create mass disruptions and casualties. The most significant foiled plot involved the intended bombing of the Indian Parliament and other strategic sites. The alertness of Indian security forces, aided by intelligence operations, led to multiple arrests and the disruption of these planned attacks, underscoring the persistent challenges of terrorism in South Asia during that period.
